Speaking on the occasion, after the agreement with the Ministry of Defence, the spokesperson from Force Motors said, "We are very happy that the Indian Army has reposed trust in the fully indigenous Light Strike Vehicle developed by our research and development team. This is a small but significant step in creating fully indigenous specialist vehicles for the Armed Forces - a truly ‘Make in India' initiative".

Force Motors had also supplied the Indian Artillery with new engines for the famous 155mm Howitzer Guns (Bofors Guns).

Trials are on for the adoption of Force developed engines on the indigenously developed new generation Dhanush Gun which is expected to succeed the Bofors Guns.

The proven Traveller and Trax range of vehicles are already in service, with most of the para military organisations in the country.
